The present study was conducted to find out the effect and correlation of meteorological parameters on seed germination in three varieties H 1098 – I, H 1300 and H 1316 under six environments (three sowing periods i.e. early, normal and late sown conditions in year 2015 & 2016). Observations were recorded for seed germination and meteorological parameters as maximum and minimum temperature (°C), relative humidity (%) morning as well as evening, sunshine hours, rainfall (mm) & number of rainy days. Tagging period stared from June end when there were sizable amount of flowers. Seed germination (%) was high in early sown condition as compared to normal sown conditions. The period from 2nd week of July to mid August was better of seed germination. So the sowing period should be adjusted in such a way peak flowering appear between 2nd week of July to mid August for better seed development resulting in better seed germination.
